  • The RNC and gun control

    Why aren't guns allowed in the convention center? Surely security would be improved if everyone was carrying?
    One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

    Security doesn't improve if everyone is carrying. Open carry states have higher rates of crime and more mass shootings
    For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

      We had this debate weeks ago. The answer is that the Secret Service said no.

          I doubt if the people running it care about people's rights to tell you the truth.

            A fair number of Trump supporters shouldn't be allowed access to weapons. This debate cropped up back when there was a credible chance we'd be going to multiple ballots and Roger Stone and Trump himself were threatening to leave blood on the convention floor and personally threatening delegates.

              Of course you are avoiding the question of why the Secret Service said no.

                Still not able to detect sarcasm. Shame.

                  I would say about half of the people who own guns in this country shouldn't have them. Republicans are crazy. Roger Stone is a nutcase. Is Trump trying to lose in a landslide?

                      Cool. Can the Secret Service widen the cordon to cover the whole U.S.?

                        With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                            Or some people are compensating for something. Lol. Guns are made to look like dicks.

                              Interesting idea - men attending RNC having their dick hanging out of their pants instead of carrying guns. Though that could be a problem for the female attendees.
